About the Program
Private lessons are offered to students of all ages and experience levels on a weekly basis throughout the 34-week academic year, as well as during the summer. The academic year begins the Monday after Labor Day (SEPTEMBER 9th 2024), and ends sometime between the last week of May and the third week of June, depending on the day of the week and its corresponding holidays and snow days.
